Investigating the effects of acid rain in the growth of cress seedlings IntroductionAcid rain is rain or any other form of precipitation‚ which is unusually acidic. It has harmful effects on plants‚ animals and buildings. Acid rain is mostly caused by human emissions of sulphur and nitrogen compounds which react in the atmosphere to produce acids. Acid rain can slow the growth of vulnerable forests and cause leaves and needles to turn brown and fall off. In addition‚ it depletes minerals from the

Vitamin C Content of Apple Juice Introduction Complete lack of ascorbic acid (a.k.a Vitamin C) in the diets of humans and other primates leads to a classic nutritional disease‚ scurvy. This disease was widespread in Europe during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries‚ but it is rare today. Ascorbic acid is widely distributed in nature‚ but it occurs in extremely high concentrations in citrus and green plants such as green peppers and spinach. Ascorbic acid can be synthesized

Monica Perez Experiment 8: Acetylsalicylic Acid Experiment 01/25/2013 CHM Lab- 2211 Sec 0016 Instructor: Jennifer Reed Introduction: Commonly used as Aspirin‚ acetylsalicylic acid is an analgesic (pain reliever)‚ which is one of the products of the esterification reaction between salicylic acid and acetic anhydride. This esterification occurs since the hydroxyl group from the salicylic acid reacts with acetic anhydride to form an ester. In this experiment‚ we will be able to recreate

Exploring the acid content of Pepsi products Lab performed: February 27‚ 2012‚ March 12‚ 2012‚ and March 19‚ 2012 Purpose: The purpose of this experiment was to discover the unknown concentration of acid in six different Pepsi products; Pepsi‚ Diet Pepsi‚ Dr. Pepper‚ Diet Dr. Pepper‚ Pepsi Wild Cherry‚ and Pepsi Max. Titrations find the point at which equal moles of a known concentration react with equal moles of an unknown concentration giving the equivalence point. Also‚ the

that most simple bath bomb recipes have: baking soda‚ citric acid‚ and cornstarch. When baking soda and citric acid are mixed together with some water‚ they undergo a chemical reaction. Specifically‚ this reaction involves acid-base chemistry‚ since the baking soda—also known as sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3)—is a weak base‚ and citric acid (C6H8O7) is a weak acid. This reaction is shown in Equation 1‚ below. As you can see from Equation 1‚ the acid-base reaction produces carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. This

09-02-2013 Experiment 1(a) Laboratory determination of water (moisture) content of a soil sample by oven drying method Reference: ASTM D2216-98 Need and scope of the experiment: In almost all soil tests natural moisture content of the soil is to be determined. The knowledge of the natural moisture content is essential in all studies of soil mechanics. To sight a few‚ natural moisture content is used in determining the bearing capacity and settlement. The natural moisture content will give

concentrations of orange juice. Research Question By diluting concentrated orange juice with water‚ can you significantly change the PH value? Introduction Across the world‚ it is thought and widely accepted to believe that Orange juice is the cure to many terrible diseases. However‚ this may not be true anymore. It has been said that Oranges are very high in vitamin C‚ therefore one should drink it every morning to stay healthy and prevent the symptoms of any diseases. Oranges apparently are

Aim This experiment is to determine the vitamin C content in different brands of processed fruit juices. Hence‚ compare the vitamin C content in the experimental results with the manufacturer’s claim and to find out the best buy. Principle Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a reducing agent‚ the vitamin C content of processed fruit juices can be determined by oxidizing ascorbic acid‚ C6H8O6 to dehydro-L-ascorbic acid‚ C6H6O6. A reagent that is particularly good for the oxidation is an aqueous solution
